Ba Falcon Transmission Problem

[Jhosk26]

Hey guys, so I drive a 2002 ba falcon and just yesterday it broke down during my 8 hour roadtrip. I was driving along goind around 110 km/h when suddenly what seemed to be the transmission, started jerking for a few seconds. Immediately after, the revs shot up to 3500, I'm assuming it went into 'limp' mode. I then started hearing strange noises such as a loud grinding noise coming from under the car, I immediately pulled over and could smell some sort of fluid, but there are no leaks.

 

Now whenever I select Drive or Reverse I hear this grind noise. I assume this is very bad, has anyone else had a similar problem.. Any help would be much appreciated.

checked the tailshaft and diff?

[bossmang]

whens the last time the auto was serviced?

[Jhosk26]

The driveline appears to be fine, not sure when the auto was last serviced.. Just checked the oil level, it's good

For anyone interested, it turns out the clutch in the auto had burnt out. I paid a mechanic to fit another transmission, but it still jerks when coasting and slips gears.. Apparently very common. Definitely won't be buying another BA

Smells

 

 

If it's still slipping either the new trans is dicked or there is another issue.

 

Get the fluid level checked ASAP before you hurt the replacement.

needs a 6 speed manual transmission.

Oh a 6 spd manual would be lovely, but I've heard its a big pain in the ass to do
